What's up with location services? (lemmy.world)

I'm glad microg set up shop here on Lemmy! Here's the first topic. The most recent release dumped unified nlm, and I want to know what that means for the future. I just found a new module, that works great, and now it is useless when I upgrade microg.

I searched everywhere, but there's no discussion about how to get features like locally built data points or downloading tower and WiFi databases.

Mozilla nlm requires internet, which I suppose is fine for most of the time, but when camping in the wilderness, is kinda useless.

Is there any news?

What about LocalGsmNlpBackend?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

What about it? All existing NLM libraries are useless in the newest version of MicroG. I want to know if we are now stuck with the Mozilla one forever or if others will be able to hook up to the new location service soon.

Mozilla requires a live network, but my devices only have WiFi so that's a problem.
